Facelift is a procedure designed to address multiple areas of concern to the patient-namely jowls [poor jawline definition], saggy neck skin and cheek rejuvenation

The procedure is performed as a day case-most patients choose to stay in overnight

The procedure can be performed awake but sedated, or completely asleep

Other procedures are added at the same time depending on the patients desires example neck lift, fillers, botox or fat injections.
